Education is one variable that does make a difference. In each country, adults with advanced education are relatively more sympathetic to the Palestinians than are adults with less formal education.
Don't watch American news coverage on the Israel/Palestine issue and you may find your opinion of Israel changing dramatically.

Shhhh, do you want me to be accused of polygamy?
You're in Argentina, not Utah.  You should be fine.


EDIT:

Wait, polygamy....thats it.....thats the answer.  BRB, must make topic.
They are Mormons, they accept polygamy.
Actually, the Mormons banned polygamy long ago. Which makes perfect sense...one wife is hard enough to deal with.

CamPoe,

I've said my bit.
Really don't care to waste more time on the topic, save for a couple of points.

1) I've been in that region.  I'm talking from what I've seen and heard from people - not from the idiot box (TV)

2) Both sides are playing the pawn.  The Palestinians are being used as a proxy for every state in the region with a grudge against Israel.
Look where the money is coming from.
Afghan poppy fields (heroin) funding a multitude of nastyness, Saudi royalty, and any number of Middle Eastern states quietly slipping the Palestinians money/guns/explosives/martyrs.

Some of the people on both sides want peace.  Unfortunately, there is too much money being funneled to the wanna-be Jihadis - and too many impressionable teenage boys looking for an excuse to blow themselves up.
1) Snap. Take a look at my avatar.

2. True on the pawn part. Not so sure on the Afghan poppies part.

3. The culture of desperation in Palestine certainly doesn't help, nor do the outsiders using the Palestinians to get at Israel, but it's a two-sided coin: Israel have been very belligerent over the years themselves and have needlessly inflamed the situation by unilaterally appropriating land from Palestines and buidling illegal settlements. We can only hope that those who want peace - the Israeli left and Fatah - will attain it. Which is not going to happen with your original post stating that Israel should essentially 'take the whole region'.

Reading the opinion of Mike Fuckabee aka thanks for the money AIPAC, I wonder what do you guys think? 

I think Palestine should keep the West Bank, East Jerusalem, which is part of WB, and Gaza.
I think if you wanna keep your land, do not attack people from your land, who can and will take it from you, in the first place.

I think he is referring to the people of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and so forth who attacked Israel and lost land in the ensuing battle.

I thought so, thanks anyway.  Israel gave back the Sinai, and they never gave back the OT's.  I think it's about time, don't you?
